I also have the 2 file setup that Bear Tracker mentioned.

Or look up Ranch Fairy on the web. He has a good demo on sharpening heads.


Thanks I'll keep that in mind if I try anything hing other then two blade , and you know it's funny that ole ranch fairy is the ones that has me getting these buzz cuts but I still haven't watched this sharping video crazy

Stop over cooking your meat! It isn’t gamey, it’s over cooked!

Shouldn’t you be focused on getting the property ready for your horses? Lol

X2 on that same sharpener here. It does an awesome job on broadhead and knives.. Deer camp last year I sharpened everyone's knives and they all cut themselves cause they weren't used to such a sharp knife..

The mini sander your talking about I wouldn't use on a broadhead.. But in the fur shed it's awesome for keeping a quick touch up to keep your knife sharp. But once you lose your edge the other sharpener gets it back..

When I was 20 I was sharpening some Bear Razorheads. Stuck the tip of one in my right middle finger knuckle. I am now approaching 79 and than knuckle still swells and turns blue when I use a hammer or a hand saw, or skin a deer.

Be carefull.

Depends now dull the object is to start and how much time you have laugh

They both work and I have both

The precision adjust you can put whatever degree edge you want on a blade

The belt one has a couple of fixed angles and a free hand mode if you are good enough to maintain a specific angle laugh

The Ranch Fairy broadhead sharpening video is worth watching
